Went offsite to a meeting and after locking my bike managed to wedge my stiletto in a manhole cover.
Despite what was promised to me by rom-coms Matthew McConaughey did NOT turn up to rescue me. Which is frankly RUDE.

Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Layin' out another lie
Thinkin' 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'd have to do to keep me away from you

The council have planted a section of the local park with wildflowers, for the bees, and it’s GLORIOUS this morning.
Wildflowers growing tall. The red of poppies standing out against the green but other flowers too in purple and pink. Wildflowers growing tall. The red of poppies standing out against the green but other flowers too in purple and pink.

Can’t wait to debut my new mug at work tomorrow.
A large coffee mug by Studio Soph featuring grumpy leopard faces, blue wavy leaves and “FUCK OFF” in black text. In the background is some 1980s eta kitchen wallpaper that you’re better off not knowing the full details of.

My current theory, because this was right next to some car parks, is that this is to do with a parking ticket but honestly, could be someone offering their ass? Seems like a fair price?

Oh, also spider earrings!

And so it came to pass…
3 pieces of paper stick to a wall. In order from top to bottom they read: @marvingardensnz.bsky.social Your blog and writing were part of the reason I wanted to do the Couch Potato blog when the opportunity came up in the first place. I'm glad you still get some recognition because your writing was, and remains fantastic.
